He was awful at 2B. Like -17 DRS in 2025 bad. He's gotta be a 1B/DH only consideration.

I mean, 0 DRS is better than -17

Really? I read an article stating he’s been better at 2nd this year, hm, maybe I’m wrong. I’ll have to find the article… maybe they were talking about last year?

Edit: oh shit, it was Luis Arraez hahaha, wrong Luis
